Weidel with problems
Anna Weidel, who stepped in at short notice, is not doing well in the competition. After a slow first lap and a mistake in the standing position, a whole minute was missing early on.
15:21
Shaken and struck
After four hits, Anna Juppe suddenly starts shaking while standing. Nothing works for a few seconds, then the Austrian pulls the trigger. And hits! Eleventh place before the last lap, something is happening!
15:18
Everyone on the move
All 89 starters are now on the move. In about 25 minutes we will have our official result. But nothing will change Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold’s victory.
15:17
Juppe doing well
Pleasing from an Austrian perspective: Anna Juppe started with a clean prone shooting and is currently in the top 15v. If everything falls while standing, the 24-year-old could achieve her best World Cup result (23rd place so far).
3:15 p.m
Grotian makes a mistake at the shooting range
Unfortunately, Selina Grotian left the first two targets standing and will not make it into the top 30 today. Now only Anna Weidel, who has just started, can change the fact that Vanessa Voigt becomes the best German.
15:12
Who else is coming?
Tandrevold is currently leading ahead of Öberg and Braisaz-Bouchet. And in all likelihood, not much will change. The Ukrainian Petrenko started without any mistakes, but left a lot in the snow.
3:09 p.m
Gandler in front of Voigt
Anna Gandler is causing a stir at the ÖSV today. After two sparkling shooting sessions, the 22-year-old took over eleventh place from Vanessa Voigt. Lisa Hauser and Tamara Steiner are significantly further behind.
3:07 p.m
Voigt probably the best German
Vanessa Voigt is currently in eleventh place and will probably end up being the best DSV athlete. Sophia Schneider and Janina Hettich-Walz are far behind after two mistakes each. Selina Grotian started without any mistakes lying down, but continues to lose time on the course.
3:05 p.m
Lampič races into the top ten!
How fast is it? Former cross-country skier Anamarija Lampič from Slovenia is easily in the top ten despite three penalties and is currently eighth.
3:03 p.m
Häcki-Groß is 0.3 seconds missing!
Bitter! Lena Häcki-Groß did everything she could and in the end even made up time on Justine Braisaz-Bouchet. Ultimately, a full 0.3 seconds are missing from the currently third-placed Frenchwoman.
3:02 p.m
Schneider made a mistake, Gandler made a strong mistake
Sophia Schneider starts lying down with a ticket. The Austrian Anna Gandler does it better. which remains error-free even when standing. The top times are too far away but it could go towards the top ten.
3:00 p.m
Voigt in front of Jeanmonnot
Vanessa Voigt has reached the finish line! Third in the overall standings, she checks in eighth place for the time being, just ahead of Lou Jeanmonnot, who is currently in second place.
14:56
Häcki-Groß makes a mistake
There wasn’t much missing! If it hadn’t been for this one mistake, Lena Häcki-Groß would have been able to attack at the front today. But the Swiss is moving quickly on the cross-country ski trail and something could still happen towards the podium.
14:56
Tandrevold before victory!
Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold does her thing confidently on the final lap and easily flies past Braisaz-Bouchet and Vittozzi. Elvira Öberg gives it her all again and also outpaces both of them, but remains almost five seconds behind the Norwegian.
14:54
Error at Voigt!
A pity! Vanessa Voigt leaves a target standing and is unable to set her sights on the podium today.
14:53
Braisaz-Bouchet in front of Vittozzi
The first biathletes have reached the finish line! Justine Braisaz-Bouchet crossed the line 4.7 seconds behind Lisa Vittozzi and took the lead for the first time. Janina Hettich-Walz also arrived more than a minute and a half behind the two of them.
14:51
Häcki-Groß is also at the forefront
Lena Häcki-Groß confirms her great form today and is actually doing really well! After a quick first round and error-free prone shooting, the Swiss is almost level with Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold.
2:50 p.m
Öberg fights his way up
After her penalty lap, Elvira Öberg completed a lightning-fast second lap of the cross-country ski trail and then hit everything while standing! Can the Swede attack at the front again?
2:49 p.m
Tandrevold takes the lead
Wow! Yesterday Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold was still sick in bed, today the Norwegian showed a perfect race! The second five shots all hit the target and it goes into the final round a whopping 18 seconds ahead of Braisaz-Bouchet and Vittozzi.
2:47 p.m
Voigt gets off to a good start
What does Vanesa Voigt do? The German takes it rather slowly on the cross-country ski trail, but then delivers a strong performance at the shooting range. This lays the foundation for another good result.
2:45 p.m
Vittozzi stays tuned!
Strong! Lisa Vittozzi also rivets all five discs while standing and starts the last lap just one second behind Braisaz-Bouchet. This should be a very hot long-distance duel.
2:43 p.m
Error at Öberg
Elvira Öberg made a mistake while lying down and is probably out of the race for the day’s victory. The way Justine Braisaz-Bouchet ran, the Frenchwoman should not be caught with one penalty loop.
2:42 p.m
Braisaz-Bouchet hits one!
The competition now has to measure itself against this! While Janina Hettich-Walz unfortunately shoots two tickets while standing, Justine Braisaz-Bouchet comes through with a sparkling quick-fire performance and takes the clear lead.
2:40 p.m
Öberg and Tandrevold
Now the next athletes are on the track who should be able to keep up with Justine Braisaz-Bouchet in terms of running. Elvira Öberg from Sweden and the Norwegian Ingrid Landmark Tandrevold come to the first shooting.
2:38 p.m
Hauser at the forefront!
Lisa Hauser also stays cool in her first shooting session and hits all five cartridges on target! This means the Austrian keeps her chance of a top result open.
2:37 p.m
Hettich-Walz remains error-free
There is still room for improvement on the cross-country ski trail, but Janina Hettich-Walz once again remains flawless at the shooting range. Strong start for the German, who is 22 seconds behind the now leading Swede Mona Brorsson. Justine Braisaz-Bouchet has a penalty loop.
2:34 p.m
Wierer completely out of shape
Something doesn’t fit at all! Either Doro Wierer has made a mistake with the material or the Italian is sick. Because there is no other way to explain it: Even before the first shooting, she is almost overtaken by Marketa Davidova, who started 30 seconds after her!
2:31 p.m
Lisa Hauser
With the number eleven, Lisa Hauser is now the first Austrian to set off on the journey. Tamara Steiner, the next ÖSV athlete, follows 90 seconds later. In between, the Frenchwoman Lou Jeanmonnot, who recently excelled in Östersund, starts.
14:29
Braisaz-Bouchet flies off
How does Justine Braisaz-Bouchet get started here? By the first split time after just 800 meters, Frenchwoman Janina Hettich-Walz had already lost 13.5 seconds. That’s an announcement.
14:28
Some big names right away
Things get straight to the point on the track. The fast Frenchwoman Justine Braisaz-Bouchet has set off with number three and the next big names are already ready with the Italians Dorothea Wierer and Lisa Vittozzi.
14:26
Starting signal
The Hochfilzen sprint is on! Janina Hettich-Walz started her first of three laps. In between you shoot as usual, once lying down and once standing. Any mistake results in a penalty lap.
14:23
Here we go!
If the conditions are good, things are slowly but surely getting interesting in Hochfilzen. DSV biathlete Janina Hettich-Walz will open the competition in a few moments.
2:17 p.m
Swiss quartet
In the Swiss team, the start of the season was particularly successful for Lena Häcki-Groß, who finished in the top 15 three times in Östersund and now wants to make it into the top ten. Amy Baserga impressed in the individual race in Sweden, but is not at the start today. The Gasparin sisters Aita and Elisa as well as Flurina Volken are traveling to Switzerland for this purpose.
2:10 p.m
Home game for five Austrians
Austria is sending five athletes into the race in front of their home crowd. As always, hopes rest primarily on Lisa Theresa Hauser, who impressed in sixth place in the individual in Östersund, but still had room for improvement in the sprint and pursuit. Tamara Steiner also wants to confirm the good impressions from the first weekend. Anna Gandler, Kristina Oberthaler and Anna Juppe are also on the road for red-white-red.
2:05 p.m
Voigt leads the DSV team
In addition to the second-placed Frenchwoman Lou Jeanmonnot, DSV teammate Vanessa Voigt, who has already been on the podium three times this winter and is currently third in the overall standings, has a good chance of taking over the yellow jersey from Preuß. In addition to Voigt, Janina Hettich-Walz, Sophia Schneider, Selina Grotian and Anna Weidel are also at the start in Hochfilzen.
13:56
Preuss has to pass
There was bad news for the German team in the run-up to the competition. World Cup leader Franziska Preuß will probably have to give up her yellow jersey at the second World Cup of the winter without a fight. The 29-year-old, who surprisingly started the season with two second places and a fourth place in Östersund, is still struggling with the after-effects of a corona infection that she caught in Sweden shortly after the weekend.
13:52
Welcome
Hello and welcome to the next biathlon competition in Hochfilzen! The women start their second World Cup weekend at 2:25 p.m. with a sprint race over 7.5 kilometers.
